Bobby Bramble Loses His Brain by Dave Keane

Keane, Dave Bobby Bramble Loses His Brain, illustrated by David Clark. Clarion, 2009. $16.00. PICTURE BOOK. Daredevil Booby is always being warned that his high-flying escapes are putting his brain at risk – and one day his brain does escape and runs off, avoiding capture from even the most ingenious pursuers. There may only be one person who can recapture Bobby’s brain – but can the boy actually do it? Pictures and texts work well together for a fast and fun ride, just like Bobby’s antics! Adults will have to read this book with a healthy dose of sarcasm, because it is a whacky odd one –but it’s final message (wear a helmet!) may actually come through loud and clear to young ones!
